When I was first introduced to flowers, this was the one that really got my full attention. Never having seen anything like it, I was totally captivated. More than 3o years later, my love for the liatris family has never faded. Liatris-Blazing Star will fit well in any garden or pasture. They also do well in large containers. An attractor of many different pollinators, 3-4 feet tall stalks will be the centerpieces of your garden. It's literally impossible to look past them. Also a nice cut-flower, this perennial just keeps shining. Plants will develope bulbs after a few years. Bulbs can then be separated and transplanted for quicker growth of more mature plants. -
I love this tomato so much. It has so much character and beauty. I really love its taste too. Georgia Streak tomato is a large bi-colored fruit of yellow and reds. It is sweeter and fruity, very complete in its taste and to me, desirable. Very good texture and slices like a dream. Plants are regular leafed and produce plenty of fruits or their large size. These begin to ripen about 80 days after transplant. Stake well because they can put some pressure on plants because of their size and production. Plants seemed to relish the hotter months, when their fruits really tasted excellent. A great choice if you love sweeter tomatoes!! -

Take a look at the pictures we posted for Tsarskiy Ljubimec. They will tell a story. The first impressive thing that you will recognize is when it starts fruiting. It holds a lot of fruits for a nice size tomato. Another impressive thing that I have noticed is that it hardly drops its blooms. We have harvested many bushels of tomatoes from just 4 plants! The true prize, though, is when you've sliced it. It is rich, sweeter, and balanced. Be sure to have a nice slice of bread ready, garnish it with some basil, cheese, olive oil, salt and black pepper...we have a winner! I recommend this tomato for any serious tomato grower and I especially recommend it for farmers market growers looking for quantity and great quality. -

Kenneth's Piennolo Tomato
There's a lot that I can say about Kenneth's Piennolo tomato. For one, skinny potato leafed plants are very hardy. Another thing is that these start ripening relatively early in the season. Continuing on, these have very good, sweet flavor and make great garden snacks. Perhaps the most outstanding quality of this variety is that it has exceptional shelf life. Here's my story. I hadn't realized that I left some of these in a plastic shopping bag on the south side of my house. About 6 weeks later when I was doing some cleaning, I discovered the bag and opened it up. Every tomato was in excellent shape! This, to me, took this tomato from a good tomato to an excellent variety for storing, especially after the season has ended. It makes great sauce and is even great when dehydrated. Cooking, salsas and more will all benefit from Kenneth's Piennolo. Give these a try.!! -

Earthy, sweetish, rich and tasty is how I would describe Sweet Tooth Tomato. Indeterminate, wispy leafed plants need early staking. Sweet Tooth is a good producer of 2.5 inch long fruits that are multipurpose. I used some for fresh salsa, dehydrating, salads, sauce and fresh eating. In each situation it preformed very well.
